Dealer sheet, promo card and 4-page promo flyer purchases
« on: December 13, 2024, 12:06:42 PM »
I recently bought from eBay two dealer sheets, one for the 1985 Series and one for the 1991 Series. They'll go great with my collection.

They just came in today and they're excellent! Now I've also purchased the ANS1, ANS2, ANS3, ANS4 and ANS6 promo cards (all four of them from the San Diego Comic-Con) and the ANS5 promo flyer.

The four promo cards will fit very nicely in the last four pockets that are in my Wacky 3-ring binder. After that, all I'll need to get is ANS11 Bonus Sticker B6 and then I'm done, for good this time.

It's strange that ANS5 got a promo flyer instead of a promo card. Wonder if it came from the San Diego Comic-Con too? I did find out one thing from said flyer, though: the packaging in ANS5 was all day-glo.

The promo card for ANS6 just came in today and it's perfect! I was expecting it to arrive on the 26th.

The other three promo cards should be in tomorrow and the promo flyer by the 23rd. Well, here's hopin'.

Thanks, slamjim, but I'm looking for ANS and Flashback, not OLDS.

Does anyone here know of any other promo flyers for the modern run? So far as I've seen both on eBay and Greg's web page, there's promo flyers for ANS1 (four of them), ANS5, ANS6, Flashback (two of them) and Flashback 2 (with one listing of the fifth one priced at $59.97/$5.95 S&H because the seller says that it's "hard of find"). Do ANS2, ANS3 and ANS4 have them at all?

I found out that Flashback has two promo flyers - a one-page one and a four page one. The four-page one is the only one of the two that I saw on eBay and it's listed there three times ($29.97/free shipping, $7.91/free shipping and $10.00/$6.95 shipping). Flashback 2, however, has only one promo flyer and it's listed on eBay two times ($59.97/$5.95 shipping and $29.95/$4.95 shipping).

After much searching, I've determined that these are what I need to finish this part of my collection:

*ANS1 4-page flyer,
*ANS4 4-page flyer,
*ANS6 4-page flyer,
*Flashback 4-page flyer,
*Flashback 2 4-page flyer.

It seems that ANS2, ANS3 and anything beyond Flashback 2 all the way up to 2015 S1 don't have these.

Pat, can you please show photos of what you have? If there are 4-page promo flyers for ANS2 and ANS3, I'd like to see what they look like and if they do exist, I'd like to have them, please.

The three remaining promo cards just arrived today and once again, they're EXCELLENT!!!!! However, it took them long enough to get here. I ordered them on the 15th and they were supposed to get here on the 21st, but they came today instead.

Anyway, now all that's left to finish my collection off is to get the five 4-page flyers that are mentioned above and that pesky little ANS11 Bonus Sticker B6.

UPDATE: I found one promo card that I missed: the one for Flashback 2. However, I've ordered it on eBay and it should be here on Jan. 6th. I'll keep you all posted.

UPDATE 2: Tonight I ordered eight more dealer sheets for everything between ANS1 and Flashback 2. They should all be here in one package on Jan. 9th.

I also found out that dealer sheets were ended about 2008 (the same year as both Flashback and Flashback 2's releases) and this was changed to emailing PDFs to dealers.

Btw, what does PDF stand for? This is a new one for me.

UPDATE 3: I just looked it up now; it stands for Portable Document Formats.

I don't have, nor do I recall seeing, the dealer (or, as I've always heard them call "sell") sheets from the '85 and '91 series.  Do you have pics of them you can share?

Its quite interesting looking at Richard’s promo sheets for ANS 1…..when
Topps actually bought tv ads on Nickleodeon! its hard to know if the lack of advertising CAUSED or was a SYMPTOM of poor sales. I feel like the first couple of ANS series did fairly well in stores, and it went downhill until we have the online sales to a dwindling few adult collectors model that we have today…

I personally think that the modern Wacky run that started so great in 2004 almost went both downhill and beyond the point of no return (for a little while, at any rate) when the last three retail store-sold series (MLB Wacky Packages (2016), Wacky Packages 50th Anniversary (2017) and Wacky Packages Go to the Movies (2018)) deviated completely from the norm; i.e., all three of them containing nothing but subsets and having no base cards to speak of at all. Ever since 2018, no retail store will ever carry Wacky Packages series again, but they will carry Garbage Pail Kids series like there's no tomorrow.

I'm afraid that we have to admit that by now, in Topps' eyes at least, Wacky Packages became the red-haired stepchild of trading cards a long time ago. The glory days of kids buying them as if they were going out of style are all gone as far as they're concerned, and in all likelihood will never be revived.

It seems to me that a lot of those were also just previously released titles reprinted with colored background instead of the normal white.

Those all look great, Richard!  A fun addition to the full set.  I think I have about all of them, though a few look a bit unfamiliar.  Guess that means I need to start looking through my binders :)

I have most of these as well.  The promo's and the Target sell sheets.  I think I have and 85 and a 91 sell sheet but not sure.  I know that I have at least one one them.  I can take some pics if I ever dig them out.
Still looking for Series 17
